Campanula portenschlagiana aka Adria Bellflower
Taxonomy
Campanula portenschlagiana, also known as wall bellflower, Dalmatian bellflower, Adria bellflower, or Campanula muralis, is a species of flowering plant in the family Campanulaceae. It is native to the Dalmatian Mountains of Croatia and Herzegovina in southern Europe. This plant is a vigorous, low-growing, mound-forming evergreen perennial that can spread rapidly as a ground cover to as much as 24" wide. It has small, triangular, medium to dark green leaves with toothed margins and bell to cup-shaped purple flowers that cover the plant in late spring to late summer, sometimes early fall. Another popular houseplant, the Peach-Leaf Bellflower, needs regular watering to thrive and does best in long-lasting, direct light less than 1 foot from a window. This plant likes soil that is well-draining and doesn't usually need added fertilizers if you repot each time it doubles in size. The genus name Campanula comes from the Latin word campana, which means bell, in reference to the bell-shaped flowers.

Difficulty
If you're looking for a plant that offers a moderate level of challenge, Adria Bellflower is a great choice to test your gardening skills.
Water
Adria Bellflower should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Soil
Adria Bellflower loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.
Lighting
To ensure optimal growth, the Adria Bellflower prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.
Toxicity
There is no verified data on the toxicity of this plant in the records of Ploi. If any person, including yourself, a family member, or a pet, consume plant material with an uncertain toxicity level, it is advisable to seek the advice of a healthcare expert.
Fertilizer
Repotting the Adria Bellflower should be done either when it has doubled in size or on a yearly basis, whichever occurs sooner. Fresh potting soil with all the required nutrients, refreshed annually, will provide the plant with all the necessary sustenance, making the use of fertilizer unnecessary. Keep in mind that plants receive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.
Region of origin
Adria Bellflower’s native range is S. Europe. Naturalized in Britain.
